Dear Everyone!

This week has been a good week. We were able to teach a lot of other lessons tons of people on the streets. That's the beauty of being on bikes! :) You are able to talk to a lot more people cause its not too awkward when you try and stop and talk to everyone. Most of them were nice and were really glad that we talked to them. A lot of them told us that they have been missing something and that we helped remind them of what they are looking for. In those moments its what makes missionary work the best. You get to spend every minute of everyday reminding people that there is hope for something better out there, that this isn't all of it.  Its sad to see people that don't believe that there really could be something more, but I am grateful to know that there is something more.  Its what helps me get through the day, its sad to see people rejecting this glad message! But as a missionary all we can do is invite! That's our purpose and all we can do is pray for each and everyone of these people! When it all comes down to it, they have to make their own choice as to what they want. Its the greatest gift that God has given us, our agency. 

Well the funniest thing that happened for us this week was the Family Festival! 

Our stake did this to help bring non members into our church. It was kind of like a carnival minus the rides. There was tons of different kinds of food, music and just fun being with everyone. It was super good and all the missionaries in our Zone sang Called to Serve and also Families Can Be Together Forever! 

Sister Weaver and I trying to be funny :)

 

Our crazy Zone :) Love them all! Ok we are missing two of our Sisters cause they didn't hear that we were taking a picture.

Just another picture of Sister Weaver and I. It does get cold out here believe it or not! So we bundle and we ride our bikes and talk to everyone! :)

Well I hope you all have a good week and please go out and help the missionaries in your area find those that are searching for the gospel! Whether it be non members or less actives, we all can use the gospel in our lives. Never forget that! Stay strong and never give up!!!!

Love, 

Sister Calton
